Is There Any Place You Refuse to Travel To?

[Sydney]

I'm sure all of us have somewhere we dream of traveling to someday, but what about the opposite? Is there a place on this planet you refuse to visit? If so, how come? What causes you to dislike it? For me personally, I really have no desire to visit the continent of Africa. It's not because I'm racist, it's simply because I don't like the climate nor the insects and animals that inhabit such a region.​

The Middle East.

It's pretty messed up over there right now.

Northern England.

[Wolf Sage]

I refuse to travel to any place at which wolves are treated poorly and hunted for their meat and fur, unless, of course, I visit said places in order to save them.

Cuba

What a glorious architecture Havana has! But looking those old beautiful unique buildings i can't help but feel like i did in Jaipur (India) - someone please renovate and take care of them! It almost makes you wish that extreme capitalism would arrive to Cuba tomorrow - imagine just how well many of these buildings would be propped up & renovated in the atmosphere of thriving commercialism and lack of governmental monopoly.


Cuba is definitely a country of many peculiarities and one of those peculiarities for me was a total and extraordinary lack of self-criticism of some local women. Given the figure or rather lack of it actually, it felt that they really should be investing into more covering clothing. Or maybe their attitude is exactly the healthy approach, because they don't have Cosmopolitan (yet) to tell them that only tall & thin women are beautiful. And it doesn't look like the local curvaceous ladies lack the male attention either.


Local men seem to be generally fit and often very trained. I don't know if it's due to a lot of physical work or vanity, but i saw only few over-weight or chubby guys. At the same time i found them generally unappealing, because the pack instinct is specially well developed in here and you can't pass a single group of guys without getting aggressive whistles and comments (good-natured though). There's something terribly unattractive and sad about a guy who feels the need to howl after every passing skirt.

Pancho, my Viñales tour-guide, said that it's a compliment for a woman when men whistle at her. And the polite thing to do, would be stop and thank them for the attention.

Actually, there is nowhere that I would not want to travel to. I want to see the world!

Every corner of the planet is unique, every corner has its own things to do and see. Every corner has something for everybody.

Every location that has already been mentioned on this thread has something that appeals to me. I would love to go to Africa. Helping the starving children, going on safaris, hiking through the Sahara Desert. Those are all things I would absolutely love to do!

The sun.

I want to travel pretty much everywhere, but at this time, I am not interested in traveling to some of the more volatile countries just because they have a higher threat level - Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, Indonesia, etc. If I ever had the opportunity and reason to go, it's likely I still would, for the experience, but I would give it a lot of thought before I did!

Other than the obvious choices (war torn countries and the like) I wouldn't want to go to Canada. I've already been there, and it's pretty mundane.

Anywhere I need an injection or there's a high probability I'll die from a variety of different stuff. Holiday is to relax.

I don't want to travel anywhere hot. So, basically anywhere south of the equator, or even south in general, is a big NO for me. I'm sure there are lots of gorgeous places down there, but being uncomfortably hot is unacceptable if I can help it. And considering my cutoff for that is 70 degrees... Yeah. I'm quite sensitive to heat. That's why I wouldn't want to travel anywhere too far south.

I really don't want to go to England, Africa, the UAE, China, or Mexico. It's mostly because of twisted truths abuot those places.
